Row today to Kingston Point Beach

Every sunrise is more beautiful than the last. We head towards the lighthouse and once we are on the Hudson (with 4 – 5 mph wind!) we see flocks of great whites inside the jetty. Then we take a break at the beach and check out the brick archway at the Hutton Brickyards place (for private weddings only). On the way back the Hudson is choppier, wind picked up a bit. But once on the creek it’s like glass!  (5.5 miles, great for Sunday morning).

Like glass on the creek after getting off the Hudson which had white caps!  Wowie!

Fascinating picture

I did not know what I would get. Coming into Rondout Creek from the Hudson at a point where there is a southward bend.  The current was ebbing at around 1.84 knots and the wind was picking up (that’s why we turned around to go back into the Creek).  So I find the waves curving along my path so fascinating.  The rower I was guiding was a novice and her first time back in the water since last summer.  Anyway, very interesting picture and that’s what I love about being out there.  NEVER A DULL MOMENT!
